South Wales Colliery Company, A special meeting of the shareholders of the South Wales Colliery Company was held yesterday at the offices of the company to sanction a lease of a valuable coal prope rt y from Messrs. J. and C. Bailey, contiguous to property already held by the company, and in the cream of the South Wales coal fields, which property is offered on the most advan tageous terms. Mr. Bailey. M.P„ explained the object of the meeting, but being personally interested in the matter of the property, he retired when Mr. Kennard, M.P., pre aideded. The hon. gentleman explained, at some length,the treat advantages which must accrue to the company by the Working of the three properties under one management. Mr. BROWN, in addressing the shareholders, bore his testimony also to the advantages which the company would have in acquiring 1,500 acres of the best part of the South Wales coal fields, and said that the quality of this coal for Iron making and other purposes was not to be surpassed in the district ; to this fact he could bear his personal testi mony as one well acquainted with the district. He might also add, that we can raise coal as cheaply as any other colliery company, having besides this a lower rate of royalty to p ay. BAILEY, M.P., re-entered the room after the resolu tions had been unanimously adopted—and addressing the eharehclders, said that he entered into the undertaking with the understanding that it was to be honestly managed, and be assured the meeting that so long as he was chairman of that company, his constant attention would be given to its interests. At present they were raising 200 tons per day, and he hoped ere long the quantity would be 300 tons per diem. The meeting concluded with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. NONEY MARKET AND COMMZUCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market a strong demand for monetary accommodation is stilt experienced. The arrangement of the fortnightly accounts in railway shares and foreign bonds always prodaces a large number of enquiries for money, and besides this there is the usual settlements to be made for the end of the month, and thus are the rates for even the best bills very firmly maintained, 7 per cent, as at the Bank of England, being the minimum quos tation. The weekly return, published yesterday evening by the Bank of England authorities, presents changes of a more favourable character than could have been expected from the recent outflow of bul lion and the increased value of money. Subjoined is our usual analysis. Active Circulation .. Decrease .. Bullion .. •• Decrease .. Rest • . •• • • Increase .. • • Public Deposits Increase .. Other Deposits.. Decrease ..

Daring Ilia last few days there has been very little auimation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugars have been in limited re quest, but at steady rates. Coffee has been dealt in to a fair extent, at about previous quotations, while the transactions in tea have been limited conse quent upon the near approach of the public sales. In rice, fruit, and spices there has been no material change as regards values, while tallow has con tinned exceedingly inactive, and prices have tended downwards for both present and future delivery.

At Paris this morning, according to .Reuter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 65e. Flat. The official returns relating tothe trade three and navigation of the U nited Kingdom for the months ending 31st March, have just been published, from which it appears that the total decreased value of the exports for that period have been £36,667,381 against £27,5 61 , 204 i n the like period o f the previous year, showi n g an increase of £9,106,177. The increase has been most perceptible on beer and ale, coals and calm, cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haberdashery, and millinery, linen yarn, linen manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool, woollen manufactures, and woollen and worsted yarn. The imprtations of the principal articles were larger during the three months as respects raw cotton, flax, jute, pape r, p but there rov isions, quick silver, tallow, sou r, tobacco, and wine ; was a diminution in guano, hops, petroleum, raw silk, sheep and lambs' wool, cocoa, coffee, wheat, Pepper, unrefined, sugar, and tea. The shipping accounts exhibit a the-foredcrease in the amou nt of tonnage employed in gn trad e of the United Kingdom for the three months an s of 55,720 tons for t he entries inwards, but there i increase of 138,950 tons for the clearances out- wards.

The Stock Exchange Markets present a dull and depressed eppearance. The speculative dealings are very few, in fact the public seem seto have had d a l mos t a surfeit of t hem, and as the ttlement foreign and railway securities occupies a great deal of attention, the business negotiated a is very limite d d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, Silo? ROBBERY.—Catherine Collins, address refused, was charged with stealing from the shop of Mr. Henry William Birch, hosier, 23, Old Compton-street, 50 scarfs of the value of £4. Charles White, assistant to Mr. Birch, said that about 6 o'clock the previous evening the prisoner entered the shop and asked to see some scarfs. He showed the prisoner two boxes, but none of the scarfs in thorn would suit her, and she then asked to see ono from the window. Having a suspicion of the prisoner, while at the window he turned round and saw her putting something under her apron. He then walked round the counter and told the prisoner that she had something under her apron. At first she said that she had not, but directly after pulled the scarfs out and throw them on the floor—there being 50 of them, of the value of Li. The prisoner then asked to be forgiven, but on Mr. Birch sending for a constable she became very vio lent, and tried to bite Mr. Birch's hand. She was then given into custody. Donelly, 628, proved being called to Mr. Birch's, and said that on taking the prisoner into custody she denied stealing the scarfs, and said the assistant had dropped them. She refused her address, and on being searched only is 7d was found in her possession. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Thomas Wicks, in the employ of Mr. Mathe.son, 11, Rathbone-place, furniture dealer, was charged at the instance of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Ani mals, with cruelty to a horse, by using it while in an unfit state. From the evidence of George Cloyce, one of the society's officers, it appeared that he was on duty in Poland-street, when he observed the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart, The horse appeared to be paralysed, lame in its fore legs, and could scarcely get along, the lock tendons of both legs being contracted, and the poor animal altogether in a state of debility. While talking to the defendant the owner came up and expressed his wish to have the horse destroyed at once. The owner was then in attendance. Defendant said he had driven the horse for 14 or 15 years, but had never noticed it going lame before. The owner said it was his wish to have the horse de stroyed at once. Mr. Knox ordered the horse to be destroyed at once, and the defendant left the court with Cloyce for that purpose, and reported that the poor animal had been put out of its misery. LITERATURE, Military Ends and Moral Means. By Colonel J. J. Graham, author of "The Art of War." Ono Vol. Pp. 464. Smith, Elder, and Co. Colonel Graham has a true eppreciatien of the real dignity of calling. He is animated by a genuine esprit•de.corps, and would fain hive every soldier, from the highest to the lowest, regarded with respect by the rest of the community; and, above all, he would have every soldier regard his chosen profession with feelings of reverence and affection. Especially does the Colonel quarrel with the "theory of enlistment" as put forth ' by many of those who have given their evidence before the Recruiting Commission, and who impute the young recruit's enlistment to the lowest motives. The pros and cons of both sides of the question are very logically considered by the Colonel, who sums up his evidence with the declaration that " the pro fession of a soldier is a noble one, and, as a rule, it is desirable that every man should get credit for entering it from noble and worthy motives, end his cisciplino should be regulated accordingly until a change of system is called for by his own misconduct." "As the vigour and beauty of the tree in the natural world depend on the roundness of the roots, so the efficiency and morale of an army correspond with the intrinsic moral and physical standard of the individual members composing its ranks." The Colonel's very praiseworthy object in publishing this most excellent and interesting volume is t ) direct the practical attention of all who have the Soldier's interest at heart to the importance of that moral element by which he, as well as every other thinking being, is so much influenced. The soldier is not to be regarded as a machine but as a man, in proof of which in how many instances have not battles been won by moral influence when, esti mated by the laws of physical force, they were hopeless! Snch instances abcind in the various historical references with which the work is illus trated. Under the heading, " Moral Influence," the wonderful power exercised by some commanders is particularly dwelt upon. Sir Walter Scott, in writing on the influence of the Chief over his Soldiers, exclaims — "They love a captain :o obey, Boisterous as March and frank as May, Ever tho first to scale a tower, As venturous in a lady's bower, Such valiant chief shall lead his host From India's fire to Zambia's frost." This volume, so honourable to its author and his profession, is very appropriately dedicated (with special permission) to the Duke of Cambridge, Cotamanding•in•Chief, who has in so many in stances evidenced his personal anxiety to uphold the dignity and ameliorate the condition of the Sol dier. Colonel Graham has evidently bestowed much time and labour upon his task, which has to him been a labour of love. He has collected evidence and information from very nume rous and most various sources in reference to part and present times and to the military arrangements of our own and other countries. His work will welt repay a careful perusal, and is admirably calculated to aid the cause which is so dear to his soldier-heart. , The Stream of life on our Globe. By J. L, Milton, 111.R.C.5. Oae Vol. pp. 614. liardwieke. At first sight the reader is disposed to regard with dismay a work which professes to propound to him " the archives, traditions, and laws of the stream of life on our Globe, as revealed by modern discoveries in geology, and palreontology," &c., but on a closer investigation we find that Mr. Milton has arranged his very imposing materials with such a careful and happy discrimination that the result of his labours affords us a very interesting matter of contemplation. Be ginning almost before the beginning, with the amazing revelations of Geology we find new cause (as may readily be found every day) to mar vel over " the things of heaven and earth that are undreamt of in our philosophy." Here for example is a startling picture of SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOOR.S. Share' Railways. ?aid.' Closing 3.14) st iv st st 50 ! Bir.. W01.,_ and S tr.

FORTUIiATE CAPTURE Or NOTORIOUS THIEVES,—A young man, very respectably-dressed, who gave the name of Henry Thurley, was charged with stealing a basket of plate from the residence of the Rev. Mr. Margeson. Elizabeth Prestige, servant at No. 3, Green's-race, Chel-, sea, said that on the 31st of March she was cleaning the street door-steps, at a little after 9 in the morning, when she saw the prisoner, and two other men. She observed them go to several houses, and two of them came to her. One of them was the prisoner, who enquired whether she had any broken glass to mend, and replied that she had not. At that moment another of the three men, named Gellings, called the prisoner, who, with his other companion, then went away with him. The police informed the magistrate that Geilongs, a noto rious thief, was already in custody, and remanded on this charge. Prisoner put several questions to the witness, who swore most positively that he was the man, which it seemed at last by the form of the questions the prisoner himself did not deny. Emma French said she was housemaid to the Rev, Mr. Margeson, and a basket of plate value £2O wad stolen from her nester's house, between 9 and 10 on the morning of the 31st. She had brought it down two hours previously, and placed it in a cupboard in the front kitchen, the door of which was left unlocked. Access could be obtained to the kitchen from the area. The police said that the prisoner was well known to them as one of the most expert thieves in London in robberies of this class. Further evidence could ba produced against him. lie was remanded. THAMES. DARING RODDXItY IN THR LONDON Dooics.—Thomas Crompton and John Bayn, dock labourers, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 71bs. of coffee. George Ellis, a constable in the London Docks, said that yesterday afternoon he saw Crompton going towards the gate, and about to leave the dock. The prisoner was look ing bulky. lle stopped him, and found upon him 21bs. of the best raw coffee. It was concealed in a very ingenious manner, in the leg of a pair trousers under the prisoner's outer trousers, and tied up above and below, so as to make up a kind of bag. The coffee was quite clean. The prisoner said be had been at work on board ship, and obtained the coffee at No. 10 warehouse. Francis Andus, a dock constable, said Baynton followed the other prisoner, and he stopped him and searched him, and found in two legs of trousers under his outer trousers, 41bs. of raw coffee, and in his cap l►b. more. Baynton said he had been at work on board a vessel called the Elizabeth and Ann. Both prisoners had been in the employ of the company several years. The prisoners said they had no defence to make. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoners to be each impri soned for two months, and kept to herd labour. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here today was but moderate.

POST-OFFICE PACKET SERVICE.—A return of the estimate for this department for the year 1864.5 has just been issued. The whole sum required to be voted is £830,276. This amount shows a decrease of £96,612 upon the estimates for 1863-4. The Lord Bishop of London has licensed the Rev. William Charles Howell, M.A., to bo Chaplain to the British residents at Havre. Mr. Howell was for many sh church of Tottenham, Middlesex, years curate off the pari and recently curate in sole charge of the parish of St. George-ia-the-E3st, ENGLAND IN EARLY DAYS. The mind finds it difficult to realize the idea that a coun try so well tilled and drained as England, and subjected to the plough as far back as authentic history goes, was once a steaming morass covered with tha rank tropical vegeta tion of the tree-fern groves, its awful silence broken only by the hum of the shardy beetle, the rush of the hideous flying lizards through lofty woods of ferns and meth', or tho tramp of the giant iguanodons over the plushy wolds. Imagina tion left to itself could scarcely have indulged in so wild a light as to picture an era when palm-trees waved in Kent and Hampshire, and the plains of Cumnor were the coral reefs of some primwval lagoon ; when the tiger and hyaena lurked in the thickets of Kirkdale and the trumpeting of the great northern elephant was heard on the moors of Yorkshire and the downs of Brighton ; when the nautilus spread its sail to the breeze or plied its busy oars in the waters of the Effra; while the bison fed on Cromer plains, and the sullen river-horse and rhinoceros browsed by the Thames and the Avon, or lay down to die by the Oise and the Aire. Yet all these things were. The hammer of the geologist has conjured up many a pioture of the farthest eld far more weird and wondrous than ever was fabled, and though of times far beyond the ken of history, yet supported on proofs for which we vainly hunt in tradition. The historian only seeks to trace back the annals of our island to the days when it was first peopled by painted savages, living in wig wams like the red Indian or beaver, and hunting with the rude bow and flint-headed arrow; the geologist recalls the times when it was the home of the dragon, the turtle, and the iguanodon. From the revelations of Geology we pass on to the eonsideration of the Races of Man, and on this sub ject Mr. Milton affirms that a mixed race can never endure, that in process of time the original stock predominates. In a kindred spirit Mr. Disraeli, when eloquently dilating upon the greatness of the Caucasian race, remarked that "other inferior races fall by that law of Nature which is fital to ours." Mr. Milton declares that "the Englishman is not the Saxon, he lived here ages before the Saxon was known." Very interesting is the concluding por tion of this book where the individual man becomes the subject of our study. In the chapter on men of genius, the writer distinctly contradicts the theory that " Great wit to madness nearly is allied." On the contrary, he affirms that it is " weak-miuded people who generally go mad." With regard to men of genius, he observes, " the temple of the soul may be a little strained and wrung, but it is made of first rate material. The partition between wit and craziness may be thin, but it is as strong for all practical purposes as sevenfold brass." Physical as well as intellectual giants also comes under our scrutiny;and we read among other curious anecdotes, a record of Mr. Bright of Maldon, a greater man than Daniel Lambert himself, for, in the said Mr. Bright'a waistcoat, five men of ordinary size were buttoned without straining a stitch 1 Appalling although the title-page unquestionably is Mr. Milton's book is full of interest and anecdote. It is also full of information on themes more important than the giants above-mentioned, Garibaldi and Italian Unity. By Lieut.-Colonel Chambers. One Vol., pp. 328. Smith, Elder, and Co. Garibaldi being a subject of peculiar interest at the present moment, Colonel Chambers' work is certainly well timed. Believing, "from informa tion obtained during a residence in Italy, that there was much unknown respecting General Garibaldi, particularly with regard to the part ho took in the transactions that led to the disastrous affair of As promonto," the writer of this volume has endeav oured to give an account of Garibaldi's doings be tween the aiming of 1859 and the close of 1863. "No previous history comes down later than the early part of the year 1861." Some portion of the contents of this volume have already appeared in the public press, but they are here accompanied by other anecdotes and rumours, with which Colonel Chambers has become acquainted in his repeated travels on the Conticeut. Corpulence : its Diminution and Cure. The first edition of Dr. Harvey's pamphlet having sold very rapidly, the learned author has been in- duced to publish a second and revised issue to meet the great demand that at present exists for the work. The Doctor enters thoroughly into the subject, and, after reciting the causes of corpulence, says, "Women, unfortunately, are more subject to it than men, and they especially should take care to guard against embonpoint ; for it is not an un common occurrence to see the handsome, elegant woman lose, little by little, in an exuberance of fat, all the grace of person and ease of carriage for which she was so much admired." No doubt the matter has been the cause of deep regret to many a fair one, but according to Dr. Harvey there is a remedy, there is a cure withoutinjury to health. Then follow chapters on the treatment of too great em bonpoint and upon the choice of food and drink for the diminishment of fat. Liquid made-dishes, With much gravy must be avoidad, so must large quan tities of fish, also certain vegetables —potatoes, French beans, and peas more putieularly. Fruit is forbidden, so likewise is all farinaceous food. The learned author gives his reasons for everything he advances, so that we may recommend the work to all those suffering from the particulAr malady of which it treats. SECOND EDITION.

The Earl of DERBY said the noble lord who had just taken his seat (Lord Stratheden) had a motion on the paper with respect to Poland, the frequent postponement of which had occasioned considerable inconvenience, It stood now for Monday next, and he should like to know whether ho intended to proceed with it on that day, or whether it was again to be postponed. . LordSTRATHEDEN said he was only anxious that the subject which stood for discussion in another place should be considered there before it was taken up by their lordships. THE SEIZURE OF THE STEAM RAMS. The Earl of DERBY rose to call attention to the pub lished correspondence between her Majesty's Government and Mr. Laird as to the steam rams. His lordship, it would be recollected, some time ago, asked the noble earl, the Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, for certain copies of correspondence relative to this subject, but that was refused on public grounds. Shortly afterwards a motion was made for the production of the papers in the other house, which were produced. In reviewing the circumstance s under which the correspondence had arisen, he characterised the conduct of the Messrs. Laird as everything that was commendable, seeing that they had withheld nothing from her Majesty's Government, while the conduct of the Government, on the other hand, he considered highly censurable, seeing it had been most unfair. ungenerous, and he feared illegal. The noble earl the Sear etary for Foreign A ffairs first received information from the American Consul at Liverpool respecting the rams on the 7th of August. From that time to the Ist Sept. the noble earl seemed to have been weighing the facts to see if he could find any evidence to justify the detention of the rams. Pressing letters had in the meantime been sent by the representatives of the American Government, and on Sept. 3 the noble earl was informed: that one of the rams was almost ready to proceed to sea. He seemed to have made up his mind that the rams should be stopped, and they were seized on the 6th of September, and no information to that effect was furnished to Messrs. Laird until the 9th. He thought those gentlemen had been badly treated in the matter, be cause they had done everything in the most open and un disguised manner. Before that time, however, a message it appeared had been sot to the United States, previously informing the \Government: that the gams had been stopped, After this a correspondence ensued between the Messrs. Laird and the Government, relative to the persons for whom the two ironclads were being con structed, in the course of which the Messrs. Laird said it was unusual to furnish the names of parties tor whom ships were being built; but, notwithstanding that, they at once informed the Government that M. Brave, of Paris, was the person for whom the vessels were constructed, and accordingly a Government agent was at once de spatched to that gentleman in Paris, when he, with out the slightest reserve, showed that person everything connected with the iron -clad, and he returned to London and reported to the Government that ho had concluded his inquiry, and that all the matters connected with the owner ship of the tw., vessels was satisfactory.

In reply to Mr. DISRAELI, Sir G. G RE Y said it was not correct that the Conference would not reassemble, They had adjourned, but not site die, but he was unable to say the day when they would meet again. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) SALMON FISHERIES. On the motion for going into c nimittec of supp te ly-, Mr P. WINDHAM asked the Secretary of Sta for the Home Depratreent if it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in a bill this session to amend the Salmon Eishoties Act (1861) ? Ile contended that means should be adopted for the preservation of salmon, and that a tax for this purpose should be imposed, or that a fund should be raised by proprietors, instead of leaving the mat ter to voluntary contributions. Mr. T. J. BARING agreed with the hon, member, but the matter was one of intricacy. However, it was under the consideration of Government, but he could not, promise that any bill relative to it would be introduced this /session. CASE OF MR, WILLIAM DEWICKE, Mr. H. BERKELEY moved that this house, upon Monday next, resolve itself into a committee to consider an address to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to direct adequate compensation to be made to Win. Bewicke, Threepwood Hall, Northumberland, for the pain, degradation, anguish of mind, and consequent ill-health' he has suffered, in being confined for 12 months in a prison as a felon, on a charge since proved to be false; for the confiscationof his gcods,chattels, family pictures, plate, and library, thus inflicting upon him an irreparable injury; also for the heavy pecuniary loss he had Buffeted in prose cuting and bringing to justice the persons who had con spired against him, such having been the only means by which eventually he was enabled to establish his inno cence ; and that this houso is prepared to assure her Majesty that it will make good the same. The hon. member detailed the principal facts of the case, with which the public are already familiar. Mr. Bewicke went into prison a strong robust man, and came out broken. in spirit and constitution. He complained of the terms of the order by which Mr Bewicke was liberated, stating that he was pardoned. If the term pardon must be retained in such orders it should be that the judge and jury should ba pardoned for the blunder they had committed. He denounced in the strongest manner the treatment which Mr. Bewicke had received, and said that his legal expenses amounted to between £2,000 and £3,000, while he lost by the forced sale of his furniture no less than £BO per cent. A mosaic table, which Mr Bewicke procured from Italy, and for which he paid £lOO, was sold for £l7, and a valuable library contain ing the works of Racine and Moll ere was sold for the price of waste paper. He concluded by an earnest appeal to the House to redress the grievances of which Mr. Bewicke so justly complained. (Cheers.) Sir G. GREY said that he must object to the motion, notwithstanding that it excited his sympathy, and he asked the house seriously to consider the question raised by this motion, which involved a most important principle. Mr. Bewicke had defended an action against him, and the Sheriff of Northumberland had to enforce the costs of it. He employed his officers, and he (Sir G. Grey) would make inquiries into the statement of the character of these men. He :defended, the oonduot of the magistrates and the judge and jury, who had no other course than to convict Mr. Bewicke on evidence which had been adduced on the trial. When a petition was presented to him on behalf of Mr. Bewicke, he adopted the usual coarse and referred it to the judge who heard the case, and who repeated the statement he made at the trial as to his entire concurrence in the verdict of the jury. With regard to the sale of the furniture, every attempt was made by the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital to induce Mr. Bewick's family to adopt means to prevent the removal of his furniture, but without success, and they had no other course to pursue but to put up the furniture to pub lic sale. He regretted that Mr. Bewicke should have de fended himself instead of employing counsel, who would have sifted the evidence, and perhaps exposed the character of the witnesses, on whose evidence he was convicted. If they were to affirm the principle of this motion they world go to the extant of deciding that in every case there should be compensation where there had been an erroneous conviction. This was a subject that required great consideration, and was too important to be settled by the circumstances of a particular case. With regard to compensation that was another matter, and P. 4 Mr. Bewicke said property worth £1,500 was sold for £4OO, ho would not obj:ct to an inquiry into the subject. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. MANNERS Fupported the motion, and con demned the line of argument adopted by the Home Secre tary. _ _ _ After a few words from Mr. INGHAM and Mr. LIDDELL, The ATIOUNEY-GENERAL rose to addres s th e house, and was (i tn. sPF.AK I NG .)

Amongst the comparatively few Polish exiles now in this country there was none probably who shared more in the affections of his compatriots in arms than Lieutenant-Colonel Nowosielski, or was more beloved by all who knew him. His remains were interred on Tuesday afternoon at Highgate Cemetery, and his grave was attended by numbers of his countrymen of all ranks, anxious to pay this last sad tribute of respect to his memory. The mourners were Colonel Oborshi, Captain Kosmian, Messieurs De Wylde, Prusinowski, Ostrowski, Raczynski, Mr. John Robert Taylor, honorary secretary to the National League for the Indepen dence of Poland ; and Mr. John Richardson, Com. mon Councilman. Also, we observed the follow ing friends of the deceased:—General Count Za moyski, Major Skulimowaki, Messieurs. M. Wall.. gerbil', and Charles Ruprecht, Delegates of the Nall tional Government of Poland. Major Szulczewski, Major ,Gialgiud, Captain Bobczynski, A Zabicki, kc. The national Polish flag, draped in black crape preceded the funeral cortege. The service was performed according to the Church of Eng. land ritual, when, amidst the most profound silence, A. Zebicki delivered a most impressive oration in the Polish language, expatiating on the virtues of the deceased, and impassionedly depicted the great loss the Poles had sustained in the death o their departed brother. This was followed by an eloquent address from Mr. Richardson, which he concluded by reciting the following very beauti ful lines composed by Mrs. Richardson for the occasion : 'Tis past—thy time of strife and pain, Thy life's luag agony, And thnu art gone where pain shall cease, And tears are wiped away, At rest—in peace ; we leave thee here Beneath our English skies, No longer Exile in the land Where thy brave soul shall rise, Son of that Noble Land for whom Thou wouldet have died to save, Her tyrants cannot reach thee hero Within thy quiet grave. Free tears are shed above thee now; This shall thy requiem be— " The Patriot spirit cannot die, And Poland shall be free." After another address by a Polish exile, in the Polish language, Mr. J. R. Taylor advanced in front of the grave, and drew the attention of those present to the uncertainty of human life, and the joy they should all feel that their departed brother had well performed his mission to this world, and that other Polish patriots would soon rise up to take his place. He expressed his deep sorrow that Mr. Edmond Beaks, the President of the National League for the independence of Poland, was not present t o t a k e part in the proceedings, and read the followin g p assage from a letter, apologising for his absence, written by hi m to Captain Bebez yuski :—" I received the news of Lieut.-Colonel Nowosielski's death with u-afeigned sorrow. I hon oured him whil s t li v i ng as one of the no bl est m i nds and purest h earts amongst your patriot band of Polish emigrants, v; hoes devotian under the most cruel perst cution a, and the most sev ere trials to their own country and the rights of other nations has bound me with loving loyalty to their cause and to Poland for many, many years. I shall ever cherish his memory with a pious affec tion. Pray, express this for me, if nece ssary — my heart, if not m y person, is with you. May Almighty Golf in his all ruling and all directing providence iu Christ Jesus our Saviour, yet realise all the de sires and wishes of our departed friend for the re establishment of Poland, the peace of Europe, and th e welfare of mankind." Mr. Tayl or cone lu6'ed by e mphatically expressing his belief that the Almih'hty was with them, and that Poland must and would be ,'roe. The cortege then left the cemetery, &ill the proceedings terminated. I I
